Jeremiah 48:41 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:41

39 “They shall wail:
‘How she is broken down!
How Moab has turned her back with shame!’
So Moab shall be a derision
And a dismay to all those about her.”

40 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, ^aone shall fly like an eagle,
And ^bspread his wings over Moab.

41 Kerioth is taken,
And the strongholds are surprised;
^aThe mighty men’s hearts in Moab on that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

42 And Moab shall be destroyed ^aas a people,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.

43 ^aFear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.

44 “He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit,
And he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the ^asnare.
For upon Moab, upon it ^bI will bring
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.

45 “Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
Because of exhaustion.
But ^aa fire shall come out of Heshbon,
A flame from the midst of ^bSihon,
And ^cshall devour the brow of Moab,
The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.

46 ^aWoe to you, O Moab!
The people of Chemosh perish;
For your sons have been taken captive,
And your daughters captive.
